This is a discussion on Total noob here... (sparco seats and gauge package ?) within the New Member Hangout forums, part of the Community - Meet other Enthusiasts category; Hello all,
I just picked up an '05 wrx wagon on Monday. I'm coming from a '95 Audi 90 that ...

There are yellow plugs under each seat. You'll need to stick a resistor in them when you take the seats out. I can't recall the exact resistance, but a quick search should turn that up.

The gauge pack requires a lot of wiring that is not included in the car. About the only thing you get out of the clock area is switched power and ground. This should give you a good idea of what is involved in a typical gauge install. It's not tough to do. It's just time-consuming.

Thanks for the reply! I did a search and see I need a 3.3 ohm resistor with very low wattage.

My next question (which I couldn't find in a search):

Is there some kind of procedure I need to do before unplugging the airbag/seat connection? Do I need to disconnect the battery or can I just unplug the connector at the seat? If I unplug it, will the airbag light come on or will I have time to put in the resistors? I'm hoping that when I finally start the car again the airbag light should be off if I put the resistors in correctly.
